Introducing Just the Ticket

Well, here we go! I just returned from a 2-1/2 week vacation to Maine visiting with my family (I'll share more about that after the release!) and I am refreshed and ready to get stamping! Another exciting release from Papertrey Ink is unfolding and it is an exciting one at that! This is one of the most innovative releases ever for us and we are just thrilled that the time has finally come to start officially introducing everything to you!

We are starting out the week with a very exciting stamp set that I designed featuring a concept by Betsy Veldman. Many of you, like me, admire Betsy for the constant innovations she brings this hobby. The fact that we were able to make one of her concepts become a reality is especially inspiring because it is like we all get an opportunity to stamp with Betsy when we bring this collection into our studios.

This is the original sketch that Betsy sent to me several months ago. As soon as I read through all of her ideas, especially regarding different sentiments that would be appropriate, my mind began running non-stop about all the possibilities.

As shown in Betsy's sketch, Just the Ticket has three interchangeable ticket-style frames that can be mixed and matched with several sentiments and companion oval images. There are even a few line images that can be inserted in the frames so you can add other sentiments from other sets or fill in the blanks with your own handwriting, especially appropriate for scrapbooks.

In order to make this set user-friendly, I have also designed an amazing, one-of-a-kind die that can be used with this stamp set.

This ticket border die is unique for several different reasons. It includes perforation lines between each ticket, allowing to leave them intact as a border or rip them apart and use them as singles. I love, LOVE, love that I am able to achieve the official "tear" lines on either side of a ticket when using one alone. It looks just like the real thing!

Another thing you may notice is that the ends of the border are "open". This allows you to line-up the die more than once on a single sheet of paper, end to end, which enables you to create borders as long as you like. This is perfect for accommodating to scrapbookers without having to pay for a full 12" die!

The details.

The Just the Ticket Border Die will be available to purchase on July 15th.

It will retail for $8.

The Just the Ticket Border Die measures 7" long and 1" tall. A single ticket, when torn from the border after die-cutting, measures 1.75" long and 1" tall.

This die features perforated lines between each individual ticket. You can leave them intact to use as a border, or tear them off to use individually.

Now that I've given you all of the basics, let's get onto some projects!

(click on above photo for a larger view)

The first project I have to share with you today is a scrapbook layout using the tickets as a border. I stumbled across this old photo when I was looking through some things. It was taken back in 2002 when Owen was only two-years old, showing him being held by my sister, Jen. It is amazing how fast time flies by! I can't even come close to picking Owen up now!

Here's a little tutorial about how the new die & stamps work together for this set. Here, I have diecut white cardstock with the Just the Ticket die. Notice the perforated lines between the tickets! So fun! I then stamped one of the border images in each ticket section using Ocean Tides ink.

Here I have added on of the date grid images into one of the frames. Note that either end of the top horizontal double line go corner to corner in the frame. If you match these points up when stamping within the frame, you'll get perfect results every time!

I added 2002 to the top using an image from Mini Scrapbook Series: Library Ledger. I wanted a rustic looking circle to highlight "July" but didn't have anything in my collection that would fit the bill. Then it occurred to me that if I could find a button with a rim on it, I could use that as a stamp. And it worked out really well as you can see above.

For the other tickets in the strip, I stamped a title/sentiment first. Don't you just love this font combo?!?!?

Next, I added one of the oval fill-in images. These tickets end up looking so realistic, you will be putting them on everything!

Here's a close-up view of the final ticket border. The idea that I can make these in so many custom themes, colors & designs is just beyond exciting for me! I also wanted to point out that I used Dot Spot in the background for some visual interest.

The title for my layout was created using the Outlines Alphabet as well as Simple Alphabet for the sub-title.

For this portion of the journaling, I stamped a line image from Mini Scrapbook Series: Library Ledger and added some letter stickers from Making Memories. I love the staggered look of these.

This layout was so fun to create, especially when it came time for the ticket border. It's a unique accent that I look forward to using on many other projects soon.

This is a quick little card I put together that could be done in any number of color schemes to suit the recipient. It also showcases how you can use sentiments from many other stamp sets within the boundaries of the ticket borders. Here I used "Celebrate Today" from Friendship Jar and "Just a Note" from Take Note. Another set that works well is Mega Mixed Messages. I'm sure you could find many others within your stash once you begin experimenting yourself!

One fun addition you can make to the tickets is to overlay patterns over the text using your background stamp collection. I used Background Basics: Woodgrain on the Orange Zest ticket and Background BAsics: Text Style II on the Summer Sunrise ticket. Also keep in mind that patterned papers would work well too.

Notice that that I ripped the tickets apart to use them as singles for this project. You can see the perforated texture on each end which I just ADORE! Makes them look so realistic! I added some staples as an accent at the far edge as an added detail.

Did you notice the pattern on the Smokey Shadow background? It was created with one of our new impression plates for this month, Book Prints. I will be sharing more about this later on in the week, but isn't it amazing? I've always loved letter backgrounds like this and it is so great having it paired with a letterpress look.

The border was created with Around & About Sentiments stamped onto a strip of Simply Chartreuse cardstock. I love the pop of color as well as how well this set complements Just the Ticket. I know I will be pairing up these two sets often in the future!

This card is so simple, it could be easily mass-produced to create little notecard sets or anything else that your creativity desires!

This sweet little baby card uses Heather Nichols' new set from last month, entitled Night, Night Moon. The duck image from the set was integrated into one of the oval accents in Just the Ticket, so I thought it was fitting to pair the two on a project together.

To begin, I die-cut the new Spiral Notebook Page die (more details about this later in the week) from Rustic White cardstock.

I then stamped the star border from Night, Night Moon a few times to cover it using Summer Sunrise ink. I also swiped a bit of Tea Dye Duo ink around the edges.

I stamped the adorable duck image from Night, Night Moon onto some new felt in our new color for this month, Harvest Gold (I will be sharing more about this later in the week as well!) By stamping it in Dark Chocolate Palette ink, it dried quickly and was permanent.

I cut out the duck and layered it on top of a piece of Vintage Cream felt die-cut with a Beautiful Blooms die. I also added a stitched circle with embroidery floss. I love little felt accents like this. They always appear to be so homespun and welcoming, which is exactly what you want for a baby project!

Here's a close-up shot of the top of the Spiral Notebook Page. I love the detail I was able to achieve when designing this die, complete with a realistic perforation line.

The ticket I used on this project couldn't have been more appropriate.

Both the sentiment and image added to it were the perfect companion for the other accents used on the project.

A strip of Dotty Biscotti paper was added to the center of the card. I love how this project turned out and I am anxious to send it off to its special recipient!

This last project was designed as a party invitation, but with a different sentiment it could be used for a variety of occasions.

I used the Spiral Notebook page die once again, only this time with Kraft cardstock. I stamped the airplane from Fly Away using Black Noir ink and then colored it in with the Copic markers shown. I also used a bit of the Tea Dye Du around the edges of the page.

I felt as if there was too much "blank space" so I opted to fill the entire sheet with text from Background Basics: Text Style II using Versamark ink. It did the job perfectly.

Here I have added the sentiment from Just the Ticket in the corner. I wanted showcase that you can use the many sentiments in the set by themselves without the support of the ticket frames and ticket die. It's a great font combination that can add a lot of pizazz to almost any project.

I wanted to do something a bit different as an accent, so I die-cut two small clouds from cotton batting (you could also use polyester, whatever you have on hand.)

Here's the finished focal point. Don't all of the elements combine beautifully? You could also create a similar project using Enjoy the Ride for more options.

I used the other new July Impression Plate for this project. I will be providing full details about this later on in the week and the It's Official stamp set it coordinates with! Isn't it fabulous?!?!? Dawn McVey designed this with a lot of detail which gives amazing results, especially when you get to see them in person.

Now, wouldn't it be fun to use these tickets as actual tickets for a party? Here, I am showing a small ticket that could be tucked in an envelope along with the invitation. The sentiment is so appropriate.

The back of the ticket features our other "name/date" image. You can add the party information on the back of the ticket.

An easy project that packs a lot of punch!

I hope you enjoyed everything I prepared for you today! This set & coordinating die is just an amazing resource that you will find dozens upon dozens of uses for!

Incredible, Amazing, Fabulous- I love everything! The ticket stamp is amazing, the coordinating die is a must have, the new color is so pretty—> OMGosh, I think I need to go lay down & take it all in! (THIS IS ONLY THE FIRST DAY OF PEEKS!!!! I’M IN HUGE TROUBLE!)

Definitely “Just the ticket” – I’ve been loving Dawn’s ticket projects over the last few weeks and now I will be able to create my own. I think cutting the tickets from sugar paper will make them even more authentic looking – do you have sugar paper in the US? That sort of thin rough textured paper sold for children’s projects – it comes in lovely muted colours and is really, really cheap!

This set is incredible!!! I just love the design and how it allows for so many combinations. Not only can this be used for the usual cards to send to friends, but it can be used for community charitable events, fund raisers and church events. What a wonderful addition to the PTI line… Wow. just Wow!!

Every single month you do it to me Nicole – sell me on a stamp set, just with your amazing examples. I love the Book impression plate, and I can see so many uses for the tickets with the kids – they love having tickets for EVERYTHING!!! Can’t wait to see more.

I thought I was just going to be holding my breath until the reading stamp set was revealed, but this set and these dies are amazing! I have no idea how the PTI team comes up with such great ideas, but I love it!

oh my goodness…LOVE the new products. i can’t wait to see more of the new harvest gold color. i think the tear lines in the ticket border are genius and the spiral notebook die is the bomb!! good bye paycheck, hello PTI delivery!!

Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better…amazing ideas! Love the ticket stamp set, die and impression plate. Alpha background impression plate is awesome as well. Can’t wait to see the rest of the release!

How cute are those tickets??? Love that the
die creates perforations so that the ticket
strip can be separated. Invites to a
Halloween party…done in orange zest or
Thanksgiving dinner in dark chocolate???
The possibilities are endless. And that
book plate…WOW! Thanks for the chance
to win some great goodies.

I’m just blown away and love everything you’ve shown. I knew I wanted the cloud die, but after seeing it out of the batting, know I MUST have it. The tickets, I knew I wanted, but not only the die but the embossing plate, wow. I will own all of this!!!

When I saw the sneak peak for this set, I was hoping that it would have something to do with tickets. I have been searching for a ticket stamp for so long and this set, with the matching die, is just perfect…actually, more than perfect! So excited.

Just The Ticket!!!! Is just the ticket. I love it, I want it, I’ve got to have it!! Betsy have a style that I just love and this stamp set and die are “to die for”. Thanks for the great products and the chance to win

FABOO to the max! I’m in love with the whole ticket collection – stamps, dies, and impression plates. Love that I can use them as borders as well as individual tickets – brilliant! I see these going on my cards and scrapbook pages but one of the first things I’ll do is to use the individual tickets as love notes. My hubby is off on a trip soon and how fun it’ll be to tuck a “Love You” ticket in his shirt pocket and “You Are Just the Ticket” in his shaving kit! I’m SO excited about these!

Wow! What innovative ideas! I love the idea of scrapbooking with the ticket stamps and the die. Great idea to also use these as party invitations. Once again, you’ve gone over the top with new ideas for stamping!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these new products!!! Those tickets are so versatile…I can see me using them over and over again! Every release I think is my favorite but this one is starting off with an even bigger bang!!!

Hi! To be honest when I first saw the sneak peaks for the tickets, I thought “oh, phew . . . I cannot imagine wanting ticket stamps so my wallet is safe this month” . . . ummm – WRONG!!!!! Adorable, genius idea, how could I have been so wrong. Way to go, again 😉 and thanks for the opportunity to win.

Just when I think it can’t get any better…you come up with another fabulous idea ! Love all the ticket accessories and the alphabet impression plate…I am in love with the impression plates and keep reaching for them again and again!

Oh my, just amazing! I looked at the sneak peek for this set and thought to myself hmm don’t think it’s something I would use…then I see what you’ve done with it and now it’s a must have for me, love it!

Wow!!! I love that I can now have fully customisable tickets for my cards and pages! WTG Papertrey and Betsy for creating such a cool new set of products!!! The Ticket Impression Plate is also really cool! On my shopping list for sure!!!

That die is WAY cool!! I love how you included the perforated edge! There were so many exciting things in this post that I will have to go back and study each photo…and Betsy’s set, eeeek! So much FUN! And Harvest Moon looks like my new favorite color!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your scrapbook page is beautiful! I think you had me with the first peek at its sweetness! Your stamps & coordinating dies are great- time-saving and professional looks at the same time! Thanks Nichole!

Absolutely amazing, wonderful, and spectacular rolled into one. I love this new ticket concept and the coordinating die is a must. I can’t wait to hear more about the new impression plates and Heather’s diecut–all have caught my eye.

This ticket stamp set and coordinating die are delightful! Thank you, Nichole, for once again showing us how this new set will fit right in with all the stamps we already have!(Sort of like shopping for new clothes and determining that Yes! this blouse will go with this skirt and pants I already own!)

Oh. My. Goodness. This is just FABULOUS!!! That ticket die is so amazing!! And those impression plates are so wonderful too!! And that new color…just delicious!! This release is off to a phenomenal start!!!!!!

I told myself that I wasn’t as excited as usual after seeing the previews, but now seeing your ‘preview project SHOW’, you proved me wrong, and I didn’t even need a ‘ticket’ to see the first day of projects and make the decision. Your projects are fantastic – I’m hooked!!

I wish I have this set in my hands today!! My DD is having her b-day party on the movies and I’m just creating the invites! maybe I’ll have this for the thank you notes!! Love it!! Adorable… Thanks for the chance to win!

This is absolutely amazing! Soon, we will never have to buy embellishments again….thanks to PTI we will be able to innovatively create our own. I adore this set and all its elements and will have this in my cart for sure! thanks, Lisa K in TX

I just love Betsy’s style and am so excited to see the full stamp set on the 15th! What a great start to the release – I love all the stamps, impression plates, dies, and felt on your samples. It’s going to be hard to choose this month!

I am already loving this release! I am so glad that you made a scrapbook page as I am an avid scrapbooker. Your page is beautiful and the ticket everythig is awesome! I’ve always wanted tickets, but the rolls in the office stores are a little pricey, not to mention I would have hundreds in one color and style. Now I can make my own any color, with many options of styles. And that ticket die is perfect! Fabulous samples! Thanks.

When I saw the sneak peeks earlier in the week I was thinking I might be able to save some money this week … but now that I’ve seen this set I know that won’t be possible. Really love the impression plates and the ticket die, too.

TICKETS! TICKETS! I can hear the conductor yelling…yes, my son is a train freak and we’d be having these tickets all over the house – personalized for our own train line of course. What great stuff you introduced today – we’d love to give them a great home. Thanks for the ideas – super as always!

I love this new set! I am so excited, it’s like you read my mind. Every Labor Day my family has a theme weekend, where each of the 3 families picks a theme and plans food and games. The day before your sneak peek came out, my family decided on a carnival theme! I would love to use this set to make invites, favors and scrapbook pages to remember the fun we have!

The ticket set and die are wonderful! I look forward to using them for card and scrapbook projects. I just love the scrapbook page you designed and I hope to use that die to journal in scrapbooks as well. The layering of the tickets on cards works very nicely as well. So much fun to be had!!

Holy Cow! You introduced so much today and I love it all. You have thought of everything! I began this hobby as a scrapbooker and I love how you are offering more and more versatile items for cards or layouts. I’d use this set, dies and plates for both parts of my hobby! Thank you, thank you!

Oh my gosh! I absolutely love this! When I saw the beginning of the post, with the ticket stamps, I thought, boy I hope there is a die to match. I should’ve known!! I will definitely be adding this to my collection! I love all of the samples and versatility of the set!!

Your preview projects are amazing every month, but I’m more in awe than usual this month. Each individual project today makes me want each new item, and I haven’t even looked at the other blogs yet! I love certain new introductions with every new release, but this one for some reason seems more exciting. Thanks for the chance to win!

Well here we go again! Another must have!! Love the ticket concept and so excited that with the stamps are the dies!!! The back ground plates are awesome too!! Looking forwards to seeing the rest of the week!

The word WOW is not sufficient but it’s what I kept repeating as I enjoyed seeing this unqiue set of stamps and dies and plates. So impressive and unqiue and my mind is filled with ideas for all these goodies!

Papertrey has done another great job of designing truely awesome stamps and dies. The ticket stamps and die is just what I have been looking for. I am so happy with all the Papertrey dies. I had to replace my die cutting plates twice since the first of the year. I am now your new best customer.

This is so exciting!! I love all your projects but especially the scrapbook page! I just finished a scrapbook for my exchange student and I would have loved to have this for so many things!! My favorite card is the baby card! SO many great design elements there!! If this is the beginning of this release, I am in trouble for sure!!! LOVE IT ALL!

Great job ladies!! I love the perforation on the ticket die, gotta have this one. I am really excited about the background impression plate Book Prints. I love making the teacher cards with this background, but hated lining up the stamps. THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Can’t wait to see what else is in store 🙂

Well darn, when I first saw the ticket stamps I didn’t think I’d have any use for them. Now that I see what you’ve done, I NEED this set and the matching die! lol Nichole, you have worked your magic again!

Oh My GOODNESS, I’m in LOVE. You are a genious to design the die with the perforations. Not only am I going to love this, my kids will have a great time with them too. I can just imagine what they’ll play with their tickets!

Seriously, PTI is so on top of innovative! I know many people will get lots of use out of that ticket stamp set and die (what an ingenious idea!!). I’m all about that beautiful letters impression plate, though. LOVE it!!

I have been oogling Mish’s use of tickets on her cards and projects. After seing what you and Betsy have made, I am in must-have mode. The tickets are an adorable and trendy focal point or embellishment to a project.

as a former school library media specialist i can hardly wait to get all the book related releases this – and the ticket stamps and die are a must have also – i may have to come out of retirement to afford all this good stuff!

Wow! I am amazed once again. The coordination of the stamp sets, dies and impression plates is pure genius. These new products will be so much fun to work with…or should I say “play with” Thanks for another chance to win your awesome products!

This entire entry is totally amazing, with each new item showcased outshining the next. As you have shown, the possibilities are endless which means my wish list is going to be big this month. Can’t wait for the night of the 14th!

The ticket stamp set is perfect!! I MUST have the die too! In fact, I’m loving every single thing so far–that notebook page die is so cool with the perforation too! This release is gonna cost me BIG money…

Oh my I don’t know how you do it month after month but you always seem to shock me with your creativity. You truly are an artist. Love all the stamps, dies and ideas cannot wait for release night.
Cynthia

Okay, that ticket die just may be the coolest thing in diecutting. I love that it perforates so you can really tear tickets! All the cards and projects are fabulous! I am so looking forward to this release!

Day One & you’ve already knocked it out of the park. I love the versatility of the ticket set & die and can see myself using this for so many projects. I’ve been trying to think of a system to reward my kids for good behavior & deeds, and I think giving them tickets to earn & collect for a prize will work great. Thanks for an awesome Day One!

Wow Betsy’s stamps and the new ticket die, I just love them. This is perfect timing for me since I’m hosting an outdoor movie night next month for friends and family. I was thinking about making tickets using my nesties and these stamps coordinate perfectly for making the invites. As usual, thanks for all the inspiration!
Paula

Spot on, again. Why am I still so amazed that you can come up with projects that get my imagination spinning in circles! When I first saw the sneak of the ticket I thought, “oh gee, a ticket” but now I’m jumping up and down saying “gotta have the tickets!!!” The impression plates are fantastic, the ticket die is perfect and my mojo is screaming, “I want to play, now!” Well done.

Adorable projects! Once again, the versatility of PTI & the ways different sets can be used together just blows my mind.
Is this interchangeability just a happy coincidence or part of a master plan of brilliant marketing? I imagine it’s some of both!
Y’all have done it again.

WOW! Your creativity blows me away, as always. Your new impression plates, dies, the projects created….oh my word. I want to be you when I grow up! (and I’m older than you!). Can’t wait to see what else you’ve got to show us!!!!

When I saw the sneak peek, I thought, “I really don’t need that.” Now after seeing all the versatile ways of using this set and the border die, I think it truly is a must have for scrapbooking, and really nice that it can be used for cards as well. I love the perforations on the border die!

It is your *use* of this product that makes it wonderful! The idea was “okay” – but the use is amazing! The samples you show are, as always, fabulous and shows me the range of this set! The sneaky peaky of the embossing sets tho’ …. !!!!!!!!!!!! eeeeeekkkkkkk!!!!!!

You always amaze me by going one step further than I could have dreamed. For instance, not only did you create a ticket die to go with the new adorable ticket stamps, but made it even more versatile by making it into a whole line of tickets. Love it all!

I love, love, LOVE the coordinating ticket products-the die and stamp set are just so cool! Great attention to detail that you created in the die with the perforation between each ticket! Your tickets are just such a darn cute idea! 🙂

Wow! I’ve had a thing for tickets for a long time now and have tried making my own but they never really worked. Always seemed to be missing something. Now I know what they were missing! PTI!! All the little extra peeks were fun to see too like the impression plates—way cool, the new felt color—yum, the spiral die—delish!! What a wonderful way to start my day. 🙂

Oh my, I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about a new release! The ticket border die is just brilliant, and I can already think of a million uses for it! You continue to astound me every month with amazing new ideas!

OHHHHH MY GOOODNESS!!! I was wondering during the sneak peaks if there would be a ticket die, but this border dies, far exceeds my expectations. You have blown my mind and this is just the first day of projects!

Wow! An amazing beginning to this month’s release. I love all the detail you put into both the tickets and the dies. I love all the dies that you have to coordinate with the stamp sets. It makes stamping so easy and so much fun! Looking forward to more!!!

Oh my, I think that I’m in trouble. Fabulous set, projects, dies & impression plates. I adore how today’s showcased products can be used on masculine projects and look unique vs. ordinary like so many masculine products are. Perfect for my boys!

It’s not fair!! Every month you leave me wanting more, more, more and every month my budget says no, no, no! If you ever go the Stampin’ Up route and have demonstrators I would be the first to sign up. Another amazing release and it’s only day one of the peeks!

Oh my goodness… I don’t know where to begin! Love the new Just the Ticket stamp set… and the new dies,….and the new embossing folders! {sigh}
Your projects are beautiful – especially the scrapbook page.
Hugs!

WOW! These are exciting additions to your product line! We use “reward tickets” with my daughter . . . how great not to have to hand cut/corner punch them anymore 🙂 And door prize tickets for parties, and scrapbook layouts, and, and, and . . . !!

I’m SPEECHLESS!!! Not only have I just looked at some of the most innovative products I’ve ever seen, but your projects are AMAZING too Nichole! You’ve showcased everything perfectly and have made me “want it all”!!!

I think this set is great. I think it would be wonderful for cards but also cute to make tickets at parties or gatherings to use for door prizes or raffles. I think it will be a really fun set to work with.

I see tickets everywhere these days so this is great, love that ticket die. I loved your invitation card and have tons of batting but never thought of using it for my cloud die! Thanks for the idea, I am going now to cut some “fluffy” clouds! Fun!!

OMGosh, I am so impressed. No pun intended…. the impression plates are so awesome and different, I must have them!!! And the new stamp set with matching die… to die for!!!!
Betsy is the business, love her inventive nature!
This was a jam packed post full of all things I must have in my collection!! I am pumped!
Thanks for having such awesome products, all the time!

This stamp set is going to be perfect for the Welcome Home party I’m having for my husband when he returns from Iraq. Using the ticket die cut and the Fly away set I already have; they will be the best invites!

You weren’t kidding when you said this month’s release was innovative. The hairs on the back of my neck are standing up after checking out todays post. I don’t think I have been this excited (and I get really excited when it comes to countdown/release time!). My head is spinning with ideas. One of the first things I want to do is create a page using the tickets for the first movie, which was Curious George, I ever took my twin girls too. Luckily for me I hadn’t gotten around to scrapbooking them yet and now I have the perfect set and dies to make the perfect page 🙂 Thank you, thank you, thank you for all you do for this wonderful hobby of ours.

Once agin I am amazed at how you and your team hit it out of the park each month! I love the look of the tickets and to have a die that coordinates so wonderfully! So creative; can’t wait until the 15th 🙂

Oh this is going to be soooo hard! I’m going to CHA and want to hold off purchasing anything so I can earn my free set in Chicago. The days until the show are going to feel like eternity!! Absolutely LOVE the tickets and the Book Prints impression plate 🙂

Wow – where to begin…I love the all the ticket ideas, especially the diecut! The spiral page diecut looks so versatile – can’t wait to play with that. But my most favorite was the sneak peek of the fabulous new color!!! LOVE it!!!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this! I think the way you designed the ticket die is brilliant — so that you can make it as long as you want and all the tickets are connected. The ticket stamps are so perfect too. This set will be SO fun! And I just love the detail of the perforations on the Spiral Notebook die — genius! So much attention to detail — that’s what I love about PTI!

OMGosh, this has to be one of the most awesome posts you have ever done. I am totally in love with everything that you have showed today. The tickets, the dies, the impression plates…I am really hoping to win this package if not then my wallet will hate me when I can purchase this.

The family is awake, and so I am trying to hide my squeals of delight!! I can hardly contain myslef! I LOVE this stamp set and the coordinating die, I cannot wait to create my own tickets! This one is a must have and I am loving the $15 price tag!!

I love how Just the Ticket coordinates with so many other stamp sets. That’s one of the many things I love about PTI stamp sets — they are just so dang versatile! I really like the fact that the tickets can actually be torn apart — love the realism that gives! I love the cards you made and would probably CASE each one with minor changes to personalize them for my use. Then after that, who knows? Sooooo many options!

Ok, now this is too much! I’m so in love with the ticket and die set. And the alpha impressions plate is a MUST HAVE for a font girl like me! This month is to ‘die’ for and it’s only the first day! I don’t know how we’re all going to make it to the 15th! Am I using too many exclamation points? I can’t help it!!!

Nichole and the entire Papertrey Team,
Each month I am more amazed by the talent and your *genius* ideas. I am in love with the dies and love that I don’t have to worry about lead content. Looking forward to everything. Thank you all for making this hobby so much fun.

Isn’t this just the classic case of never say never. I NEVER in a million years thought I would want a ticket stamp, but not only do I want it I want everything that coordinates with it. LOVE this idea!!!

I LOVE this set and die combo! I will make so many fun little accents with them, and also set up shop for my kids, I imagine–they have both been obsessed with raffle tickets lately. I can also imagine using them to create games for my first graders next year.

Okay, now I KNOW I am in trouble this month. Your creations never stop amazing me. I don’t know how you & your DT lead the pack in fresh ideas time & time again. LOVE IT! I just began purchasing a lot of tickets to add to my cards. Now I can make my own! I love everything I’ve seen and it’s going in my cart…LOL.

This set is absolutely fantastic! I love it! And after all these peeks… I don’t know how I’ll ever be able to wait for the rest of countdown! Nichole, I absolutely ADORE your projects; they’re so clean and fresh. 🙂

Seriously, this is all amazing. I can never really tell by the sneak peeks, so I wasn’t excited. Now I’m beyond excited into scared because I love everything shown today PLUS the dies PLUS the new color and we haven’t seen everything yet.

Oh my gosh! These are fabulous. I don’t often ‘have to have’ every item introduced on a single post, because of differing styles (one of the great things about PTI is that there is something for everyone!). But i just love everything today – brilliant ticket idea! And I love the look of the new colour – can’t wait to see more of it.

These were AMAZING! That ticket border die? Oh my, what fun! For some reason, the first thing that popped into my head were “treat” tickets for the kids (ya know, give them a ticket or two for being nice to their sibling, doing chores without being hounded, etc), that could be traded in for treats or cash. Got a little sidetracked, there didn’t I?
I am absolutely in love with the little notebook page die. I’m going to use that on everything! I’m going to make my notepads from that- it’s fanstastic!

These have got to be one of my favorite stamp and die set combos that PTI has ever done. The possibilities are just endless and again, I love that they are so interchangeable with the PTI stamps I already own. Can’t wait till the 15th.

Nichole, that new baby card is so adorable! The versatility of this set is mindboggling! And, like you, I adore the perforated edges on the die that make the ticket look so authentic! I can see that you and Betsy thought of everything when creating this set! Thanks for the chance to win!

This ensemble is ‘Just the Ticket’ for achieving fabulous, creative and inventive paper crafts!! I think I need to buy everything…wow! I love it, love it, love it!! PTI never ceases to amaze me with your fantastic design products. What a wonderful exciting first day!!

WOW!!! Lots of FABULOUS stuff coming this month!! I just LOVE the ticket die – and the stamps as well – SO FUN. I really am loving the batting clouds on the airplane card too… *happy sigh* So much inspiration flowing from here today!!

I love love love everything you’ve shown in today’s sneek peak! That ticket die is fabulous (love the perforations) along with the stamp set! I can’t wait to use this for little reward tickets and lunchbox notes for my daughter. I love how you incorporated the die and stamps into a scrapbook layout. Love that new color too!

There’s nothing I don’t like about these new releases! The samples are wonderful and contain so many ideas that I plan to use. Is it the 15th yet? So happy to be on the West Coast so I can order at 9:00PM! Looks like yet another great release! Thanks!

These dies and impression plates are definitely your thing for 2010 – – just really incredible ideas/designs. So functional…and fun. Betsy’s ticket set that you made in to a real stamp set is incredible…and oh-so trendy. I think I’m buying everything I see here today!

Wow, this is awesome! LOVE the idea of the tickets and the die with the perforated edges! How awesome is that? Fabulous ideas and I can’t wait so see the full set!!! And the other impression plates and dies are definitely intriguing!

The ticket die is SO COOL!!! I love how you always think of the little details…like the perforated edges in your products. It’s what makes PTI standout!!! Can’t wait to see more with the other die and the coordinating stamps!

I love EVERYTHING about this set and its coordinating dies. It is a must purchase for sure! I can see using this for scrapbooking, invitations, making little incentive tickets for my kiddos at school, etc., etc.! This is amazing. LOVE IT!

I totally love every single project that you did with this set … loved Betsy’s projects too. I am so amazed by everything you always come up with. I like the peek you gave us of the new colour! Just great! I think I’m in big “trouble” this month 🙂

Ooooh, I love the new felt color and your adorable baby card – just so sweet!! The ticket stamps and die look like such fun and the ideas are starting to swirl around in my head:) I love that you left the ticket die open ended so we could make a longer row of tickets.

Holy moly! Each project you featured today contained just one more thing to add to my ever growing PTI wishlist. Love the tickets – stamps and diecut – oh my! Book Prints impression plate – to die for!!! I once went to a quilt store whose slogan was “why shop anywhere else.” That’s now become my PTI slogan. I just trust that you have it all, even if we haven’t seen it all yet. (wink) 😉

OMGosh, another fantastic release!! I LOVE the tickets and the die; also the ticket background die! The sentiments for the tickets are adorable, too!!! And fat ric-rac, too…Oh my goodness, I can’t wait until the 15th!!!!!!

I was up late last night, pretending I couldn’t sleep, and caught a glimpse of these tickets on Betsy’s blog. Then I really couldn’t sleep!! I never have to buy a roll of tickets again. I’ve done that a lot–sometimes for invitations and lots for games and drawings at parties for teens. Plus I can make them look just like what I want them to say, instead of the generic version. Oh, that I could just order them today!

I love everthing, as always! I love all your dies. I can’t wait to get my hands on that Book Prints die and Spiral Notebook die! How cute are they!!! I would love to make a birthday party invitation, just like yours, using Just the Ticket stamp set. Very cute!

I am totally in LOVE with today’s peeks! I am so excited about all of the die+stamp sets that you’re developing. I want them all! I also love the detail on all of the dies, the perforations are brilliant.

I am so excited for this new set! I am moving across the country from my friends and we have a tradition of exchanging gifts and I make a card for everyone to sign. I have many guy friends and this set would be perfect for their cards, even from across the country! : )

When you put Betsy & Nichole together you’ve definitely got a winning combo! Can’t wait to get this set in my hand along with the die cut! I have to say that I love every die-cut you’ve released. It’s pure GENIUS to have a coordinating stamp set to go along with them!!!

Wow and WOW!! This set looks like so much fun! The coordinating die is really awesome too. I could definitely see myself making little party invites with a ticket to go along with it. How fun would that be. I’m impressed and really inspired!

There has yet to be a release where I don’t want it ALL, lol! You’ve outdone yourselves again…fabulous design work and beautiful creations; and it’s only the first day…I think my wallets in trouble this month 🙂

Wow! You must have read my mind. I’ve been looking at all the cards Mish has been making with “ticket stubs” and thought, “someone should make a stamp set with that idea.” Great minds think alike. Great ideas and cards! Thanks for the opportunity to win this great set.
Love you gals.
Michelle

Wow! I love the ticket set especially how it looks like a real ticket with the perforated lines. Genius! You really out did yourselves on this set and thought of everything. You guys are the best at PTI. Thanks for all the thoughtfullness and work you put into every set.

This ticket set is sooo fun; my imagination is running wild with different ways to utilize it for every age recipient. Your fantastic new dies each month are “killing” me; I sooo want each/every one. They’re so fabulous to cut with. WOW — again, can’t wait for the next 4 days!!!

Oh, oh, OHHHHHHH! Thisis FABULOUS! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! Betsy and Nichole, you have hit it out of the park! Amusement park that is!!!! Love the die concept and everythign I saw from the Just the Ticket and hlove how great they coordinate with stamps already in the PTI line. Brilliant! (did I mention I’m excited about this???)

Oooooh!! I am so excited about this set and the ticket die. I can’t tell you how many tickets I have helped my 4 year old cut out and decorate for various things. He loves tickets and thinks you should have them to gain entrance to everything. I told him about this set and he said “For ME!?!?” But I am looking forward to the detail they will add to my projects too.

Oh wow! I was convinced that I wouldn’t need to buy anything new this month, but you have got me on the impression plates and dies alone!! LOVE the book print! I am a big fan of the tickets and the fonts used–so many possibilities. Cannot wait to see more!

I just finished a scrapbook layout and I am going to hold off on the journaling just so I can get that notebook page die. It is so, so cute and will work so well with the library ledger set from last month. So great so far this month!

I am in LOVE! I can’t wait to make tickets! I am a school bus driver and I love to give rewards for good behavior. I can see making tickets to give to kids on my bus – maybe with a piece of gum or some type of treat!

With every release there are just more and more combinations of available to use. I love the Just the Ticket stamp set and all the new dies previewed so far. The rest of the examples, without a doubt, will prove to be equally incredible.

I am sooo in love with Just the Ticket stamp and die!! Have to have it! And the notebook die? I’m dying here! Love it all and whether I win or not, I have to have it! Of course, I were to win then I could actually just use the money I would have spent on some of the other incredible new releases…I’m a huge bookreader, and am already thinking of ways to use that set too! Bookclub, Christmas.

I am literally SHAKING…I think I might pass out. This is the most incredible combination EVER! I LOVE the ticket die and the way it rips the individual tickets. AMAZING…I cant even talk I am so excited. I will be in the middle of no where without internet on the 14th and 15th, I am thinking of paying someone to order for me 🙂 Sooo excited!

Oh my gosh, I am just in love with this set! I would love to use it to use in my Disney album I’m working on, it’d also be great for Circus pics, dance recitals, sports events, anything that you need a ticket! So fun and your projects are amazing!

Once again I am blown away with y’all’s creativity. The sneak peak for Just the Ticket didn’t even interest me. “Whew,” I thought, “There’s one I won’t be tempted to order.” But, of course, I was wrong and y’all wowed me with how amazing this set is. Amazing.

there goes the stamp budget this month!! woweee you gals have out done yourselves..im sooo glad you are doing your take on tickets.. they are everywhere, so versatile and Im glad PTI has its own line now!!and those impression plates…awesome..simply awesome!

I have only been with PTI since February this year, and I cannot believe how amazing you ladies are!! Month after month you deliver to us the most amazing products!! I feel like I repeat myself every month: I love it, this is a “must have” “it’s my favorite so far” But really they are all true!! Thank you for all the amazing products!!

The die are always just what the doctor ordered! I almost ordered that cute little plane last month but didn’t. Looks like it will be in my cart this month, along with the impression plate, the ticket die and…

More innovative and creative ideas!! I love the ticket stamps and die and the impression plates are wonderful! It’s just so hard to choose what to order because everything is awesome!! A fun problem to have, though!! 🙂
Thanks so much!!

Oh, Everything looks so “I’ve gotta have it.”
But I’ll be on vacation where there isn’t internet connections on the 15th, so I can’t order until later. But I will. I can’t believe how you gals come up with all this new & neat stuff every month. Such excitement. Just keep ‘er coming.

Love the ticket ideas! So many ideas. Mostly like the party invite ticket, those who bring it to party could leave it in the bin for the door prize. Then I could scrap using the tickets from the party pictures. This set is defintely the ticket!

Fun, fun, fun!! I am in awe of your ingenuity – but I shouldn’t be surprised because your brilliance never ceases to amaze me. The ticket stamp set is too cute for words – Betsey rocked this! Thanks for the chance to win!

Thank you so much for showing us the original sketch of Betsy’s. It is so fascinating to see the process that you and your designers go through to come up with the amazing products your develop…and this month is already no exception!

Oh … and I thought I was SAFE when the preview came out. THUD. The joke is on me!! Beautiful projects this morning Nichole! I love the new tickets – sooooo many amazing possibilities with this one – and such a great mix with the previous sets!

Wow, so awesome! I’ve been making my own ticket embellishments with carnival tickets, but you can only do so much with those. I can’t wait to get ahold of this set and the coordinating die and impression plate. Great job, guys!

That ticket die set is so cool. I have a million ideas in my head right now with kids birthday parties coming up–a fun carnival theme using the tickets, a movie party, maybe even a car party using “ticket to ride” as the theme. I love it!

I really didn’t think I was going to “need” this set based on the sneak peek but after seeing the set in action and that fabulous die I know I MUST have it! You and your design team never cease to amaze me.

Everytime I think you’ve done every new thing you could possibly do, you come up with something else that blows my mind! I love the idea of my own personalized rolls of tickets! There seems to be no end to your genius. Love it!

Wow, I absolutely LOVE the ticket set and die! There are endless possibilities and I imagine you’ll have additions to that set in the future!! What really has my heart aflutter are those impression plates. They make me so happy!

You guys need to stop this….Just when I think – OK That’s enought for me! – then you come out with more stamps, dies, embossing plates that I just can’t live without!!! (I will be online on the 15th of this month Ü)

You did it again. Just the Ticket is indeed just the ticket for so many occasions My kids always gave me tickets for things like Breakfast in Bed, Back Rubs, and Movies with Mom. Now that they are grown, I will give them some of the same kinds of tickets. What fun!

I love this set, after seeing all the possibilities on both your page and Betsy’s! Many of my friends are having babies these days so I’d love to incorporate the tickets on baby cards and shower invites. How fun!

Very nice cards! Well, here goes my stamping budget (again)…Just the Ticket stamp set is at the top of the list along with the ticket die. I really like basics like this that can be designed into any type of card. Looking forward to more great creativity and sneak peaks this week.

Holy cow!!! I never would have imagined, but this might be one of my favorite sneak peek days EVER!!!!! I love every one of your samples! I don’t know what is better: the stamp set, the ticket die, or either one of the new impression plates! OMG!!!!! I see that this will be another wonderful release and another spendy month!!!!

I really like the ticket die and the stamp set is perfect for so many things. I love how you used it on the scrap page. The new Harvest Gold looks yummy on my monitor. This month’s release is getting off to an amazing start.

Do you ladies read my mind or what?! I have been wanting a ticket stamp for scrapping for over a month now and nothing I could find really fit the bill – until now! And I love the coordinating die. I just love you guys!!

Well, I am singing with joy! I’m planning a 5th birthday party months away and I think I want to go with a carnival theme. This would be the Perfect 1st win for me, but I know I’ll get it all soon anyways 🙂

“Just the Ticket” to stir up excitement! I am overwhelmed with all of the new things just with this first release. Pure genius with the Ticket Die!!!!!!!!!! What fun this set offers. Then on to the Spiral Page die cut!!!!! Love the invitation on the last card with the ticket holding the party date and time. Very, very clever!

What a clever set and die! I’m excited to be able to make coordinating tickets for a variety of projects; cards, scrapbook pages, classroom incentives…the list goes on. Today’s projects are fantastic. I just love the new color too!

Awesome and inspiring samples, as usual! I am loving the ticket die and coordinating stamp sets – a must have! The tickets will be adorable on cards, scrapbook pages, picture frames, and many other uses. So versatile! Love all the dies that are coordinating with the stamp sets too – making our creative process even quicker and easier. PTI is SOOOO innovative!!

I love this set! I love how it can be used for both scrapbooking pages and cards. This set would be great to use for my teenage grandchildren. I love the dies that coordinate with the set. This is going to be another exciting month, with a big shopping list!!!
